The Ionian Islands region
The Ionian island of Corfu, known as the ‘Emerald Isle’ due to its lush green countryside and crystal clear coves, holds many unexpected and unforgettable surprises where you will discover the legendary friendliness of the locals that will undoubtedly make your stay on the island a memorable experience.
Corfu / Kalami area
The village of Vlachatika perched above the bay of Kalami is reached by a single track road off the main coast road just past Dimitris Taverna. Occasionally you may meet some of the locals as they wander back up the pathways to their houses shouting greetings to one another, a real chance to live amongst the Greek people and to experience the essence of traditional Greek village life.
Kalami itself is without doubt one of the most picturesque bays on the island of Corfu. It is famous for once having been the home of the writer Lawrence Durrell who stayed at the White House on the beach front. It is only a 2 minute drive or 10 minutes walk away and can be reached via the road or via several pathways off the main coastal road. It has a pretty shingle beach and its waters are lovely and clear making it perfect for snorkellers and swimmers as well as those who enjoy lazing on the beach, you can also find watersports down in the bay. The resort has several waterfront taverna´s where you can dine day and night serving fine Greek cuisine and fresh fish daily. You will also find 3 supermarkets, 2 bars and tourist offices where you can arrange excursions, an exchange, car hire and boat hire etc.
There are also many other fabulous waterside taverna´s nearby in the neighbouring picture postcard bays of Agni, Koloura and San Stephanos. Should you wish to venture a little further Kassiopi is only 10 minutes drive away and has many shops, restaurants, bars/clubs, beaches, and a pretty harbour area if you feel the need for something a bit livelier.
There are 2 Aquaparks within easy reach on the island and a golf course just outside Corfu Town, you can also arrange horseriding with our friend Dimitri from the nearby taverna and scuba diving plus windsurfing is available in Kassiopi.
There are many things to do in Corfu but for sight seeing Corfu Town is not to be missed. It is a wonderful place to visit having plenty to see and do with its Italianate arcades, Venetian fortress and cobbled alleys. It boasts everything from international boutiques to traditional craft shops that line the streets and stay open late into the evening. Aside from shopping you can watch an afternoon of cricket sipping coffee from below the arches of the Liston Arcade or stroll around the square and admire the medieval churches and forts. That is not to mention the Corfu Trail (see www.corfutrail.org) for those who would like to see the island on foot or the monastery at Paleokastritska and many other attractions on the island.
The Corfu Trail Walking – those who love walking will love Kalami as there are many paths that wind up through lush countryside, olive, lemon and orange trees, linking each bay along the coast treading in the footsteps of the Durrell brothers, Corfu at its best. There is also The Corfu Trail, a long-distance footpath which runs the length of the island, from its southernmost tip to its northernmost point fully waymarked in both directions. It meanders through all the island's rural municipalities and avoids heavily developed areas to the island's beauty spots, beaches, picturesque villages, monuments, monasteries and diverse landscapes. The official Corfu Trail Guide Book is available at various locations along the trail as well as several bookshops. You can find out more at their official website www.corfutrail.org
Avlaki Sailing School The local sailing centre is located at Avlaki bay between San Stephanos and the resort of Kassiopi, the sweeping picturesque bay with its crystal clear waters has the ideal sailing conditions giving a feeling of security within its protective headlands on either side www.corfu-sailing-events.com
Scuba Diving There is a fantastic dive centre located in the centre of Kassiopi which has a range of options available including instruction for beginners, qualifications, pool training and day and night dives. Corfu Divers also offer Deep-Sea Fishing excursions
Horse Riding Horse riding can be arranged in advance or during your stay with our friend Dimitri from Dimitris Taverna who runs a small friendly riding stables also in nearby Avlaki. Spend a beautiful morning surrounded by nature, with animals that you love, experiencing a unique journey on a horse in unspoilt forests with a view that will astound you journeying to a remote beach normally difficult to reach.
There is also an excellent Golf course about a 30 minute drive from the property having outstanding panoramic views.
How to get there
Flights can be obtained from most UK airports between May and October. When searching for flights the name of the airport is Corfu (it is located in Corfu Town and is sometimes listed as Kerkyra), the main flying days from the UK are either Monday or Friday. There are a couple of flights that leave on Tuesdays or alternatively it is possible to reach the island via Athens, however most of our properties have their changeover day as Monday or Friday accordingley.
During the Winter Season (November to April) at present there are no direct flights to the island therefore you would have to fly via Athens. You can also travel to Corfu by ferryboat from both Athens and Italian ports such as Venice and Brindisi throughout the year.
Corfu Village Properties are a member of the Skydeals VIP Scheme. Through our membership our clients are able to book discounted flights. Owned by Thomson they are one of the leading flight only specialists in the UK. You can visit their website www.skydeals.co.uk however please note that you will need to phone their dedicated hotline 0500 011 747 and quote our membership number VIPS3738 to obtain a discounted fare.
We do advise you to shop around as finding the cheapest flight is not an exact science and there does not seem to be a trend. The prices offered will depend on things like the time of year booked, how far in advance and which airport you travel from etc. If you have any difficulty in finding a good price and would like some assistance with travel arrangements then please do not hesitate to ask we are happy to help in any way we can.
